Does our metabolism change throughout the menstrual cycle, or in the different pill phases of oral contraceptive use? 🧐 Cluster member Jennifer Williams investigates this hot topic in her latest work! 🏃‍♀️🔍 Read more here: ow.ly/IIqo50R4zBw

Researchers in Canada got most of what they were hoping for in the country’s 2024 federal budget, with a big boost in postgraduate pay and more funding for research and scientific infrastructure go.nature.com/4azQ8Ft

Thank you Brain Canada ! 🧠💊

📢Up to 30% of women in their reproductive years experience menstrual cycle irregularities. We investigated the impact of a prolonged menstrual cycle on hippocampal morphology in one participant 🧠 Our new paper is now published in #npjwomenshealth npj Journals Nature Portfolio🚨

MilliporeSigma We ordered several 50 mg bottles of fadrozole for an experiment that starts today and has to start today. Grad student went to make fresh today and there is less than 5 mg in each bottle -- we had our science stores open one of the bottles to ensure that it was

🚨Check out our new preprint on the role of the estrous cycle in shaping synaptic, dendritic, AND population level plasticity in hippocampus! I'll save a full rundown for publication, but so happy to see my thesis work out in the world 😊

I’m so excited that our team (six clinical psychologists!) were able to contribute this dimensional measurement approach to reproductive psychiatry via molecularpsychiatry! The most exciting thing is the potential for better phenotyping/ measurement to uncover unique targetable

postdocs and about-to-be-postdocs! we are still accepting postdoc applications for the Translational Neuroscience of Drug Addiction T32 here at UCLA. if you're interested in working on neuromodulation, neuroendocrinology, or neuroimaging and drug addiction, please reach out! 🧠⚡️

Excited to share our research which found that the menstrual cycle and oral contraceptive pill cycles (2 generations) had minimal impact on 20+ common cardiovascular outcomes & cellular regulation. Important considerations for female inclusion in biomed research. AJP-Heart and Circ

Thank you to the team: Jem Cheng, Jenna Stone, Michael J. Kamal, Josh Cherubini, Gianni Parise, @macdonmj, & countless others who worked tirelessly on this project! #dreamteam

Beyond #SABV #SGBA to understand consequences on women's🧠health - we need to understand how HCs impact the brain. So if you are at #SfN2024 check out this symposium tomorrow with Jesse M Lacasse @TronsonLab Nafissa Ismail - NISE Lab @neurokaty Carina Heller, Ph.D. @carinaheller.bsky.social Ami & Sarah

Belated post, but we have 2 new papers out! 📑 We used a cross-over design to study emotion regulation & fear learning during menstrual cycle phases, OC use, and IUD use. A short 🧵1/4

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on a NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist & a bioinformatician. Please RT! More info 👇
